Policy & Legislation Disputed Uganda (national) 28 Aug 2026 Severity: 1/5

Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba announced on X that the Presidential Advisory Committee on Exports and Industrial Development (PACEID) was dissolved, with its functions and budgets to go to Operation Wealth Creation, and said the status of its chairman Odrek Rwabwogo was under discussion. He also advised the Finance Ministry to send to the UPDF a reported Shs52 billion payment he linked to Rwabwogo. Rwabwogo had said earlier in the week that only the President could end PACEID's mandate, and PACEID said it remained operational, according to ChimpReports.

A national event, not tied to one district.

Disputed: Kainerugaba declared PACEID dissolved, while Rwabwogo said only the President could terminate its mandate and that the President had issued no such directive, and PACEID said it remained open.
